We long for Love!

We are very accustomed to those 'big screen' romance stories, and want these to become true in our own lives. However, more often then not romantic relationships can be one of our main sources of unhappiness. Even though we might recognise this, we are not accused to other forms of love. So how can we cultivate an authentic experience of love?
 
Buddha taught that authentic love is not something we ‘fall in,’ rather it is something we nurture in our hearts. It is not something we reserve for just one person, but instead is a powerful mind of cherishing that we can learn over time to extend to everyone.
